The Louisville Fire.

In the Courier-J Journal of Monday
we find this statement in regard to
the burning of the tobacco ware
houses Sunday night: "The rejec-
tlons amounted to iGi hhds., orabout
8 per cent. of the offerings, against
IA per cent. last week and 10 per
cent. the week before.
The'sales were suspended today in
all the warehouses in consequece of
the total destruction by fire last night
of the Banner, Boone and Sawyer,
Wallace & Co., warehouses, with
about 3,100 hogsheads of tobacco.
The loss of this tobacco was almost
complete. This calamity, which i;
of course matter Of general regret,
destroys about four million pounds OF
tobacco of both types, though very
small part can be saved perhaps, but
If SO in a very damaged condition.
There will be no losses to the con.
signors of tobacco. 1t is not known
as yet what arrangements. the un'
fortunate firms, who have the sym
pathy of all in this interruption Of
their business involved, will make
for continuing their sales.
The market has been exceedingly
brisk aad strong for both Burley and
dark tobaccos and further advance:
in prices have been established.
Dark and heavy tobaccos have bad
a decidedly active week, medium
leaf being particularly active. From
common Tugs to selections, both in
elusive, prices are 25@5Oc higher
Foreign buyers have been competing
with each other with great steadines'
and animation, and the home man
ufacturing and speculative demand
has been large and regular, so tina
nothing was neglected. Heavy
wrappers, or long kinds have beef
v .ry active at full prices.

Irany one writes us anything on
the prohibition subject, let him cut it
short. Our readers are getting tired
of the long rigamaroles on the sub
ject. Most of those who write about
it tell all they know and a good deal
more. Nearly every one is referring
to scripture on the subject 1--WE sup
pose because they have not anything
else to write about) which is useless
as people have bibles of their own

man with sound mind will pretend
that the bible advocates the saloon

pondents do. Why they don't write
something original, instead of re-
hashing the same old thing, or copy

we don't see.

Miss CURRIE DUKE, daughter of
Gen Basil Duke of Morgan's Calvalry
played the violin at a concert in
Paris, KY, one night last week for
the benefit of the Confederate Monu-
ment Association.
The Courier-Journal correspondent
says of her:
Miss Duke kindly volunteered to
appear at this concert on account of
the cause which it represented.
From her first appearance, her Iecep-
ton was gratifying and enthusiastic
ovation. She at once captivated the
hearts of her audience, which was
from the very start en- rapr 1T with
the beautiful artist. Her first piece
was a solo, "Ballad ct Polonaise OPP
49," Vieuxtemps; which was execu-
ted with remarkable skill and power.
Miss Duke seems to throw her whole
soul into her performance; the instru-
ment seemed to become part of her
very being, and to respond to all the
feelings and emotions Of her own
soul. 1t seemed to be thing of con-
scious life and intelligence, swayed
at will by the magic touch of the
artist. With such wondrous skill,
and an audience in full sympathy
it is not strange that Miss Duke
achieved such gratifying triumph.
On the rendition of her first piece
she gave as an encore "Home Sweet
Home,n with remarkable sweetness
and pathos. She also gave .Legends
